Decimal - We In Harmony

When you play catchy electro/synthpop with a female singer it's hard to keep away from the Alice In Videoland dilemma and even if that's kind of sad it is true.

This debut E.P is centered on the title track "We In Harmony" which returns in three different aspects. You are also able to find "Help Me Understand" and the instrumental track. What binds them together is that they are all dull, without content and the sound quality is everything but well-produced. This isn't something I would listen at twice.

Still I have a different opinion about the bands live performance which is fortified by the singer Gaia's scene presence and engagement even though the band played for an empty floor. Even though there were some more power behind the bass when they played live I still think Gaia need to find her a new band or make the boys behind her produce more powerful and varying loops. At this present time the loops are to drab and without any increase in speed.

And the fact that the singer had the same kind of shoes that my girlfriends mother bought in the US back in '91 you just have to live with.
